Wine Project Newsletter
Apologies to everyone for this notification being sent out so late, events in real life prevented me from distributing it at the time, and the Wine Project's had a bit of a lull during the Northern Hemsiphere summer. But as the nights draw in, activity should pick up again, and hopefully the next Newsletter will arrive a little more quickly....

The next few weeks are the perfect time to take photos of grapes in the Northern Hemisphere - get your cameras out! FlagSteward 16:16, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

George E. Kimball (DYK nom)
Hi. I've nominated George E. Kimball, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know, where you can improve it if you see fit. &mdash; Komusou talk @ 15:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Fine with me! :-) I see that you expanded on the article - which also proves that someone actually read it, which is always nice when we're talking about bio articles that can be seen as "narrow". I noticed a while ago that Kimball was missing in Wikipedia, although his contemporary OR colleague Morse had an article, and I finally got around to assembling one. I see that you checked up on the entertaining Isaac Asimov anecdote that was included in Morse's nice In Memoriam article. Tomas e (talk) 00:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * To get more readers/editors, one usual procedure is to expand the incoming links (the article's What-links-here in the left-side toolbox) by Googling all "site:en.wikipedia.org" articles that mention yours (or that should do it), and wikilink his name in them (while possibly adding relevant details to those articles).
 * Yes, the OR career was interesting (though more fascinating stuff is at operations research), but the Asimov factoid got my eye. Actually, I had two motives about it: one is that such claims are better with an attached &lt;REF> source (some people will want to verify the info isn't bogus, others will plainly be interested to read more about the tangential point). And two, because I just knew it would provide a great alternative hook for the DYK nomination if I sourced it, and thus more chances to have the article selected if the "serious hook" was deemed to dry or obscure. Indeed, the DYK admins went for the "Asimov hook" – not that the more serious hook would have been rejected if it was the only one provided, mind. &mdash; Komusou talk @ 20:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Château Pichon Longueville
A tag has been placed on Château Pichon Longueville requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Carignan page move
Hey Tomas, would you be willing to modify your comments on Talk:Carignane to include a bolded Support. I know it is not meant to be a vote per se but it would make it easier for the closing admin to evaluate the overall support for the move. Thanks for your time!

 * Done. Tomas e (talk) 00:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
